I have not been to Whiskey Cake in a long time. I chose it because it was my dad's birthday and it's one of his favorite restaurants. I was really impressed with the changes to the menu. The focus on what is fresh and seasonal and periodic updates to the menu makes me want to come back. I had the shrimp and lemongrass noodle salad. it was amazing. There were seven of us and we shared the crabcake fritters and butcher board. These were good as well. All the staff were warm and kind. The customer service was exceptional! This was a great visit.

Do not valet here. Nothing against the restaurant at all because the overall experience was phenomenal. The valet service offered outside however, left a lot to be desired. We waited over 20 minutes for the car because they “lost” it. Will definitely be coming to eat again though!

We went to Credence to celebrate the holidays with our friends and the experience was beyond our expectations. The ambience was inviting, the food was excellent but the service is what blew us away! From start to finish- hostess, manager, to the servers - the attention we received was spectacular and really made the dinner special. Special thanks to our beautiful server, Anabela, what a gem. We will definitely be back! Thank you! ❤️
